46 parts Complete "River, I...I didn't realize..." I say, and before I can form the rest of my sentence, he strides towards me. I immediately step back and feel the rough bark of one of the nearby trees press into my back.
One of his hands comes up to grip my jaw, his hold so firm that I wouldn't be able to turn my head away even if I wanted to.
My whole body thrums with desire as I feel his other hand plant itself firmly on my waist. His dark eyes bore into me so intensely it's like being peeled back to my very inner layers, like he can see every part of me. I feel my core light with desire, my breath catching as he stares down at me, angry, lustful, intense.
"You are mine." He growls, his tone rough and thick with possessiveness.
I'm not prepared for what happens next.

What do you do when everyone and everything you know is destroyed in front of you?
For 21 year old Holly Freeman, the only answer was to run.
After barely escaping the brutal but unknown pack that ambushed her own, Holly stumbles into the territory of none other than the highly feared Shadow Pack: the most brutal and largest pack in all of North America. The legends of the Shadow Pack keep young pups scared at night, and Holly once thought there was no way she herself would join them....But what is she to do when she mates with a Shadow Pack member? And not just any member, but the ambitious and ruggedly handsome Shadow Alpha, River Matthews?
Sparks fly immediately, despite Holly and River mixing like oil and water. The undeniable pull between them forces them to recognize just how different and yet how similar they both truly are.
Holly and River must learn to become each other's best allies, or risk having their greater enemy threaten not only their love, but the way of life amongst wolves everywhere.
